Sikorsky MH-60G Pave Hawk USAF

The MH-60G's primary wartime missions are infiltration,
exfiltration and resupply of special operations forces in day, night
or marginal weather conditions. Other missions include combat search
and rescue. The MH-60G is equipped with an all-weather radar which
enables the crew to avoid inclement weather. To extend their range,
Pave Hawks are equipped with a retractable in-flight refueling probe
and internal auxiliary fuel tanks. Pave Hawks are equipped with a
rescue hoist with a 200-foot (60.7 meters) cable and 600-pound (270
kilograms) lift capacity. All MH-60G's have an automatic flight
control system to stabilize the aircraft in typical flight altitudes.
They also have instrumentation and engine and rotor blade anti-ice
systems for all-weather operation. Aft sliding doors on each side of
the troop and cargo compartment allow rapid loading and unloading.
External loads can be carried on an 8,000-pound (3,600 kilograms)
capacity cargo hook. Pave Hawks are equipped with folding rotor
blades and a tail stabilator for shipboard operations and to ease air
transportability.(U.S. Air
